My Life As A Historian: Sabaton History Returns w/ "Steel Commanders – Tanks and Panzer!"

You knew this was coming when the new single got released a while back, so here it is.

The history of the tank clearly exhibits how technology, when put under the pressure to develop due to competition, swiftly matures.

Compare the crawling landships of WW1 with the swifter armored cannons of WW2, especially after the peacetime or early-war (in the Pacific) models proved insufficient to meet the needs of combat operations especially as air power also matured alongside it and the two interacted accordingly.

Now compare those tanks to the armored tanks of today. A late-model M1 Abrams is as superior over the tanks of WW2 as the T-34 and the Sherman was over those of WW1. If not for the even larger changes in the likely battlefields and conflict forms of the future--I refer you to everything involving "Fourth Generation Warfare" for that--then I would think that the only changes for tanks in my remaining lifetime will be iterative (unless they can get railguns to work on the thing, which isn't likely).

And if you were not expecting World of Tanks to not throw money into this in return for some brand power, Pär put that to bed with a very open discloure of the game's involvement.

Now, if only we could get them a cameo in a future Girls Unt Panzer film or something.
